The Attention Span Of A Goldfish #IYP

The Attention Span Of A Goldfish #IYP

The attention span of a goldfish which is something like 7-12 seconds is that what we have succumb to?

Is that not incredible, I think so, and sadly it is something we are seeing more and more as the days go by with all the gadgets, goodies and technology as it progresses and pushes forward.

So have we become one with the goldfish? Or has all this screen time and tech really just taken our minds to another level of dopamine needs?

The dopamine is the excitement factor that happens in our mind and body, the release of it actually (not unlike a high, drug or alcohol substance in the body). We look for more of these hits and how we get them...scroll, video games, screen simulation. 

We have no clue the true implications of the flicker rates on our screens but nonetheless they are making us more addicted that is a for-sure.

There is no finger to point or blame to be laid, however we do need to take on the responsibility of educating ourselves as to what the outcomes of these very small windows of attention will bring to our over all mental and physical health over the years. As well as what it will do to society in general.

Is it a cry for help that we seek fame and stardom or is it in fact we are so board with our own lives that we seek this external stimuli to give us hope and meaning.

We spoke about the EGG picture that was hot at one time on the internet. How a picture of an egg garnished the most likes ever online. How was that possible and why?

There are still patches and areas in day to day life that give me hope (like seeing youngster playing outside with no tech, just their own imagination) Or a door being held open showing me that there is still awareness of others. We just all need to make sure those items become louder and louder over the coming years!
